Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Isaac TeSlaa

Friday, December 5, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been far and away the best Packers' pass-catcher for the last few weeks and will look to put forth another strong effort in Week 14's divisional showdown against the Chicago Bears. Watson has been fantasy's WR10 since Week 11, with 16.3 fantasy points per game. Additionally, he's seen first-read target percentages above 30% in each of the last three weeks, leading the team all three weeks. Watson has an excellent matchup this week against the Bears, as they've allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Combining the solid matchup with Watson's recent utilization, he's a solid fantasy WR2 option this week against the Bears.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in his team's 44-30 Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. While the 23-year-old has just eight receptions on the season, four of them have come in the end zone, including two in the last two weeks. TeSlaa has seen extended playing time thanks to the absence of Lions wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle), who has missed two straight games with an ankle injury. Raymond's return timeline is uncertain, but his return would almost certainly cut into TeSlaa's chances in the future. Still, Detroit may continue to utilize TeSlaa as a big-body threat in the red zone with tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on Injured Reserve. Fantasy managers interested in TeSlaa should monitor Raymond's injury status heading into Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
